GG Inc.'s Best of 2014

12/30/2014

2 Comments

 
As the year comes to a close, it is our duty as geeks with a blog to count down our favorite geek moments of the year, so here you go - enjoy! (In no particular order...)
Stephen Colbert interviewing Smaug the Magnificent.
This video says it all.

The Return of Wierd Al Yankovic. 
The release of his newest album "Mandatory Fun" was a throwback to my youth and a delight. His daily video premieres leading up to the album release were an ingeious way to introduce himself to a new generation of tech-savy fans. Our favorite: Word Crimes.

Also, if this isn't a nerdy highlight I don't know what is (this whole series of Epic Rap Battles are awesome BTW - if you want to fall down the YouTube rabbit hole for a while...)

Stephen Amell being not just a hero on TV, or on Facebook, but in real life! 

Using his 3 million+ Facebook army, Stephen started the year raising $25,000+ in one week for the family of a little girl with a brain tumor (Prayers for Sophie) and ended the year by teaming up with Represent to sell (fan designed) t-shirts that raised over $1.3 million dollars for the charity Fuck Cancer.

Also, Arrow is still the best comic hero on TV, maybe ever and we couldn't be happier with this year's spin-off The Flash!

Everything Marvel
From the non-stop action of Winter Soldier and the subsequent revitalization of Agents of SHIELD - to blowing the roof off the Universe with Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel shows no signs of slowing down. January premieres the long-awaited Agent Carter and they've announced four new Netflix mini-series and a massive plan for their movie franchises all the way out to 2019! AND EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED - (stupid DC...)

Also, the GotG soundtrack was the must-have this year and has us all Hooked on a Feelin' and jamming to Cherry Bomb in our cars with the windows down - weather permitting :) 

A woman becomes Thor in the comics. 

This exciting turn leaves us with many questions... Will we see this incarnation of the Norse god on the big screen at some point?  And who would play her if this came to pass?


Picture

Gotham premieres, and it is awesome.  
Serious noir-meets-crime-drama, with so many backstory teasers sure to entice any geek!  We can't wait for this one to start up again in January.
Picture

Five Nights at Freddy's 1 and 2
These indie point-and-click horror game is chock full of jump scares!  Can you make it past Night 5?  Have you seen the Golden Freddy?
Picture

Super Smash Bros for 3DS and WiiU was insane, awesome and insanely awesome.  
Picture

2014 was WiiU's year with Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors.
Other video games we loved in 2014 are South Park: Stick of Truth, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Kentucky Route Zero Pt. III (Dungeon Dame's Game of the Year) and Hatoful Boyfriend (Pigeon Dating...  You know you want to try it.)
Dungeon Dame's Game of the Year!

Picture
Power to the People!
2014 saw the rise of crowd funded projects. Cool games, web series, toys and movies - most famously the film resurrection of everyone's favorite sassy detective, Veronica Mars.

Cards Against Humanity 
This year saw the release of the 5th expansion pack, as well as well as the 90s Nostalgia Pack! Very un-PC fun will ensue...

The newest Dresden Book is the best since Changes.
Skin Game is the fifteenth book in Jim Butcher’s fantastic Dresden Files series.  You should read them all, possibly multiple times.  

Epic trailers for things we are sooooo looking forward to next year...
But that is a story for tomorrow. ;)

News from the Netfilx Defenders Series

Daredevil is set to premiere in May 2015
With production wrapping on the first of the Marvel/Netflix original series, Daredevil, and the recent casting of Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) Marvel is continuing its momentum by casting the lead for its next hero lead, Luke Cage.


Meet Mike Colter!
Picture
The character of Luke Cage, in the comics, marries and fathers a child with Jessica Jones, so it is no surprise that they will be introducing his character on the A.K.A. Jessica Jones series.
The only Defender left uncast is Iron Fist - who I expect will be introduced during the Luke Cage series (since they are partners in 'Heroes for Hire.') This will lead up to the final mini-series- The Defenders.

I love that they are broadening the scope of the MCU and creating more characters that can and will be impacted as the feature films continue to roll out.

Movie Reveiw - The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies

12/17/2014

Let’s start with some brief background information to give you a bit of perspective on this review.  Tolkien’s The Hobbit is one of my favorite books of all time; I read it to my children two years ago when they were far too young to truly understand it, much less grasp its significance as a work of high fantasy or appreciate the depth of Tolkien’s world-building genius.  I adored what Peter Jackson did with the LOTR trilogy, and was thrilled when I heard he would be filming The Hobbit.

I got a little worried when I heard he was making it into two movies, and became even more concerned when I heard he’d split it into not two but three parts.

And then the first movie came out...
As a fairly maniacal Tolkien fan who had very recently re-read The Hobbit, I was less than thrilled with all the excess crap Tolkien had packed into that film.  While I enjoyed parts of it, I had expected to be wowed on the level of the LOTR movies, and I felt quite a bit let down.

The Desolation of Smaug didn’t do much to improve my feelings on the “trilogy” concept.  Yes, it was packed full of talented British actors (and anyone who knows me knows how much I adore British actors), but still… 

And really?  Who was this Tauriel person, and why was Legolas in this movie at all?  Ick. 

So I went into The Battle of the Five Armies reluctantly.  I considered waiting to see it until it came out on DVD, but a friend asked me to go see it with her tonight.  My expectations were so low that I was actually grouchy this afternoon at the prospect of spending two and a half hours in a movie theater when I have so much to do at home to prepare for Christmas next week.
Picture
I must say that Jackson very nearly redeemed himself with this final installment.  
While I’m still irritated that my favorite Tolkien tome, which is far shorter than any of the LOTR novels, was packed full of extraneous material and stretched into three long films, I must say that Jackson very nearly redeemed himself with this final installment.

With Robert Orci leaving (or fired) from Star Trek 3, rumor has it JJ Abrams may have had a meeting with Johnathan Frakes to take the helm!

It may be a long shot, but here's hoping he can 'Riker Lean' his way into the director's chair!

10 Things I’ve Learned About Dragon Age: Inquisition... So Far

12/11/2014

It’s official, Dragon Age: Inquisition has taken over my life. I’ve been dreaming about closing rifts all week.

If you’re an RPG fan and you’re hesitating over dropping the crazy money EA is charging for Inquisition, my advice is to GO FOR IT!

by Miss Sally
This game gets A++ for entertainment value.
At about 46 hours in and Level 12, here is my assessment of the game thus far:

1. Dragon Age: Inquisition is huge.

Just go ahead and put a “Gone to Thedas” sign on your door. So far it seems Inquisition can keep you entertained for…ever. The main quest lines are fantastic, and even offer some options that allow you to change the course of the game. Each area has tons of side quests to expand your influence.

2.  What a world!

BioWare has taken the open world concept and made it even better (imo) by adding many different open world areas to discover throughout the game. Some are more linear than others, but you can explore, loot and gather to your heart’s content in each one. Oh, and the scenery is just gorgeous. The use of light in the game is incredibly realistic. If you can, turn those graphics up all the way and enjoy.
Picture
3. Customization junkies are welcome here.

For an adventure RPG, the game offers plenty of customization and optimization. The physical character creation tool has improved a little from previous games. Wait, except for the terrible hair – can we get some decent cuts up in here?! And why does half my head have razor burn??
